CAIDA, the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis, conducts network research and builds the infrastructure needed for large-scale data collection, curation, and distribution to the scientific research community. It explores both practical and theoretical questions about the Internet to yield macroscopic insights into its infrastructure, behavior, usage, and evolution. The organization also aims to foster collaboration by enabling data acquisition, analysis, and sharing where appropriate, and to strengthen the integrity of Internet science while informing science, technology, and communications public policies.

Based in La Jolla, California, CAIDA was founded in 1997 and operates as a research center in the computer networking field with a focus on data-driven research infrastructure. It serves researchers in the scientific community by providing data and analytical capabilities to study Internet infrastructure, traffic, and evolution. A notable recent development is the 2024 launch of DarkSim, a framework that uses Dynamic Time Warping to assess similarities in high-dimensional network-traffic time series, reflecting CAIDA's ongoing efforts to expand analytic tools.
